سفره خانه و قهوه خانه خرم

The Khouram Traditional Coffee House in Shiraz is defined by its deep, open-air interior walls lined with intricate, floor-to-ceiling Persian tile work. This space operates as a modern bridge to the traditional qahveh-khaneh, or coffee house, which served as the social heart of Iranian life for centuries. Local men once gathered here to listen to professional storytellers recite the Shahnameh, or Book of Kings. Today, visitors sit on cushioned platforms to drink tea and smoke hookah amidst the same tile patterns.
